[SOLVED] RAM not recognised...

Hi,

I have two 512mb sticks of RAM running in duel-channel configuration on my motherboard.

Recently I removed my stand-alone graphics card (which had broken) and am now using the onboard graphics from my motherboard.

Upon removing the old card, I check in device manager to make sure everything was ok and noticed that windows was now showing I had only 896mb of RAM.

Two questions:

1) Is this because the onboard graphics requisitions some of it?

2) Is it still running in duel-channel mode?

OS: WinXP sp 2
Mobo: Asrock 939NF6G-VSTA with GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
RAM: see above

Re: RAM not recognised...

Hi.


Your onboard card will require some of your Systems RAM, However the RAM will still be in dual Channel.
